One yoga pose your mind and body will thank you for
Feeling stressed or tight in your lower back? Try this. The Happy Baby Pose, a simple yoga move, can release tension in your hips, back, and spine in just 30 seconds. No equipment. No long routines. Just your body and a quiet moment.
To do it, lie on your back, bend your knees toward your chest, and hold the outside of your feet with your hands. Let your knees open wide. Gently rock side to side if it feels good. You’ll feel a deep stretch in your hips and spine almost immediately.
This pose is great for people who sit a lot, feel stiff, or carry stress in their lower body. But it’s not just about stretching muscles. The pose also calms your nervous system, helping your mind slow down and feel safe. Some people even use it before bed to sleep better.
It’s called Happy Baby for a reason. The position mirrors how babies naturally relax. When we copy that movement, our body also remembers how to relax, reset, and release built-up tension.
You don’t need to be flexible. You don’t need to be a yoga expert. Just 30 seconds each day can change how your body feels and how your mind reacts to stress.
Sometimes healing starts by lying down and letting go.
